What's up everyone ? We haven't written in a little while so here it goes.

First off, some
GREAT News..... we have just signed on to open for the one and only KING DIAMOND
at L'amour on Fri Nov 7th... go to the shows page as we will be selling tickets
at a very special discounted price!!!!!!

Opening for Overkill
on July 19th at Lamour was AWESOME, as always, OVERKILL packs the place with
some of the most die hard metal heads in the tri-state area. Going on just before
them is a true test for a warm up act.We would gladly be their warm up whenever
they call. We have opened for them the last two times they have played in the
area and the repsonse was nothing less than stellar.These guys are the most
down to earth,cool motherfuckers we have had the pleasure of sharing a stage
with. The crowd was completely insane !!!!! you couldn't ask for a better night...

Now on to Milwaulkee
Metal Fest 2003.What can we say.The place is a fucking orgy of death metal bands.I
personally don't get the whole growling thing, but hey,thats me. I'll tell you
what, there was this one band called Slave Driver that had some real talent,
but the other 5,200 bands blew. The guys who organize this cluster fuck do a
fantastic job. It was probably the most organized event we have been too,But
maybe we will wait out next year ( we will see what type of bands are playing
next years fest) and just play the Classic Metal Fest in Chicago. Thats it for
now .............The Beast

Hey Hey!!! We have'nt posted anything here in a while, so here it goes. June
3rd, tuesday night at Don Hills in Manhattan playing with Joey Belladonna, How
did it go you ask? It was FUCKING PHENOMINAL. The crowd's response to us was
nothing less than AWESOME!!! Especially from the chick who was thinking of moving
to L.A. (don't do it, it sucks there). Joey and the band were fantastic, the
guy sounds awesome and he is possibly one of the coolest people we ever met.
We Loved hearing all those classic Anthrax songs. DON HILLS RULES for booking
us that night.

Now on to the show
at L'amour on June 13th. Another great response from the Faithful that came
down that night. The Dio tribute band, Sacred Heart was excellent. Gene and
Matt, the sound guys at L'amour are two of the best in the buisness. You guys
always do right by us.

Keep an eye out
for Magus Beast as we just signed on to open for the mighty OVERKILL at L'amour
on Saturday July 19th. check back soon as we will be offering a number of special
discount tickets for the show online.

So with that said
we hope to see some of you take the trip to the Millwaulkee Metal Fest in late
July.... If anybody is hard core enough to make the trip, we will be selling
discounted tickets FAR BELOW the door price for the festival. Check the shows
page for online purchases for tickets for ALL of Magus Beast's shows. Hope to
see you guys soon. The Beast

Hey we would like to thank all of you for coming out to L'amour on the 15th.
It was great to see the familiar faces and also some new ones. The show was
Awesome. The sound was great and the response was even better. We want to thank
the guys in Zandelle for giving us the opportunity to play at their record release
party. You guys Kick Ass!! We would also like to thank Gene the sound man, who
always does an excellent job for us. And a special shout out to Jay and his
girlfriend Michelle for coming down, it was a total surprise to see you there.
If anyone reads this page and you would like to know who the hell I am talking
about, Jay was the sound man over at Castle Heights. There are very few sound
men out there who are as cool as these two. As you might have heard, Castle
Heights is now closed down and has become another friggin Mexican restaurant.
We were able to play a great show as a way of showing our respect to Castle
Heights during their last week of existence . We shared the stage that night
with some old friends, Attack. Well, thanks again you guys and Jay, good luck
in Staten Island.

Also, If anybody
is heading up to the Webster Theater in Hartford, Ct on December 30th for the
Stillborn Festival with HATEBREED and KILLSWITCH ENGAGED, we will be included
in a PROMO CD that will be given out to the first 300 or so people that get
there. The two tracks that will be included are MAGUS BEAST and IN VAIN
Keep a close eye on the website in the coming weeks as some new material will
start surfacing for downloading.

Although we don't have any live shows booked in the near future, we are hard
at work recording our new CD. We are setting our sights for a late November
release. We had planned on an earlier release date but we want to put out the
best possible product for our fans. So, we are taking just a little extra time
on this project. In the meantime, check out a review of our live show from September
in Bergenfield, NJ. The review was written by The Kibitzer from Metalgospel.com.

Hey Folks,
I just wanted to apologize for canceling the show at the Red Zone on the 28th.
I know I waited until the last minute to cancel but I thought I would be able
to shake this cold and sore throat. So, please accept my apology to all of you.
We will let you know when the show is rescheduled.
Thanks,
Ron

Well, now that's what we are talking about! L'amour, the fucking rock capital
of the frigging universe, holds 52 million bands in one night on the same stage
with 10 minute gear switches between bands (take any longer and it cuts into
your half hour set). WHAT THE FUCK! Well, tell you what, it was frigging great!
It was a packed house and the crowd was singing along. One guy knew every word
to every song! How cool is that? We want to take this time out to thank all
of you for coming out that night, it was definitely worth the hassle for the
lousy half hour. Tell you what, if you show up at the Red Zone on September
28, we can promise you a full length set.
Special thanks to Zandelle, Gothic Knights and to all the folks from WLVR and
WXLV in PA for coming all the way from Lehigh Valley, PA for the show.

We would like to thank the few and faithful who came out on Friday night at
A's Rock'n Sports Bar. Three killer bands and only a handful of people show
up? Where the hell is the metal scene in the toxic waste dump they call New
Jersey? Don't get me wrong, the place is cool, the sound is really good and
you can't beat the dollar beers for band members! But where the hell are the
local vagrants who hang out here, you can't tell me that this place stays open
all year with the 5 to 10 locals that were in there? God man, how much can they
friggin drink? We would also like to thank Zandelle and Finster Baby for putting
on two really kick ass sets............Too bad you locals had to miss it!
Special thanks to Kenny from metalgospel.com

First of all, we would like to thank all the people who came out to the show
at the Garfield club on Aug. 10th. Thanks to Tony the Metal God and John from
Vyagra music for putting this event together. Some people who we DO NOT want
to thank are the sound man and that fucking toothless douche-bag who started
the fight with us in the parking lot, we hope you die the most painful cancerous
death in fucking medical history. The only thing that would make it better is
if we could stand next to your mother and laugh in her face as you take your
final breath you piece of shit! You know it's too bad we were only able to get
through 3 songs, we felt great and the crowd was into it. Hopefully we will
be able to come back someday to play in Northampton, just not at the Garfield.
Maybe on that mother fucker's headstone though!
Special Thanks To A.J. from WLVR. Tony, the Metal God. Jess, the Metal Goddess
and last but not least, Marcus. You are intense, my man!!!
